SEEDS presents education grants

DAPHNE, Alabama --- Developing the analytical and transferable skills students will need to compete successfully in the 21st century job market is the focus of this year’s Classroom Enrichment Grant Program sponsored by Supporting Educational Enrichment in Daphne’s Schools.

The SEEDS board of directors recently presented $47,500 in classroom grants to teachers and principals in the five Daphne public schools and at Christ the King School, fulfilling every request received this year.

The funds will be used to enhance technology and expand 21st century learning opportunities — two of the priority areas identified by last year’s Yes We Can Community Conversations, 18 of which were held in Daphne.

In addition to individual teacher and team grants, each school receives a minimum $2,500 block grant to support campus-wide improvements.
